Sometimes the worst port of incident response is the responders not knowing when to just STFU.

Honestly what a statement to make. Nobody breaks into a system exfils and bunch of records without authorization without some intention to miss use the information. I guess there is a edge case where it is 'just a stunt' or part of some pentest/proof of concept exercise, in the latter case though it isn't an incident and is authorized just not thru ordinary procedure.

All saying you have no indication the information has been miss used is really saying is - it is absolutely being used against us (collectively) or our personnel individually AND we don't have the intelligence capability to identify how or whom specifically..

This is worth a mod up ^

5k is a heck of a lot of headcount for what Mongo seems to have in terms of scope of product offerings and support services.

Yep.

There's especially the people who say "you can get a refurbished mini pc for less".

Well cool. That's also not comparable!

At minimum people have a duty of self care. Why are they expecting others to do that job for them!

I am not even arguing we should not help in hard cases, from both a policy and an ethical standpoint. However suggesting the in-action someone makes us responsible for those outcomes is insane.

Absolutely, and by "meh", it's often "fine" or "adequate". And there's nothing wrong with adequate it is by definition good enough. Would I like a machine that's 3x as fast for half the price and fully open source? Well of course. Do I need one? Well... no. I don't think I've ever been in a situation were one of those would be necessary and a Pi would be inadequate.

I've used NVidia Jetson Orin AGXs, but nothing is comparable to them anyway, even a 5x faster pi wouldn't match it.

It's a real pity that the ARM world is such a shitshow compared to the x86 world, which is funny to say. Broadly speaking the first and last time I have interaction with the vendor is when I buy it and the hardware will run for decades if it lasts that long with quite possibly excellent support across the board.

You still need a working Raspberry pi to do that :)

I have indeed now keyed a few basic programs in at boot time (well for the emulator not the pi obviously!). It's amazingly good fun and I then understood why octal rather than hex has such pride of place in unix and C.

My advice is to not be a cuck.

My advice is not to use weird dated MAGA terms.

The raspi people made it harder for you to tinker with your own hardware

Yeah generally I don't like this. On the other hand we now have massive widespread acceptance of online scamming where legally sound companies get to cream off the scam profits so basically encourage them.

This puts manufacturers between a rock and a hard place. If the channels are filled with broken re-badged raspi's that is in the world as it is right now Raspberry Pi's problem. And RasPi customer's problem. So what would you have them do? Just shrug and say "lol sux to be u"? In this case 99.999% of their customers will never change the RAM.

They've been customer-unfriendly from the beginning, when they were selling boards with dumb mistakes that ruined them for many purposes (remember raspi A USB fails? remember the MANY power supply failures?

And yet I've been happily using them for various tasks for years. Bugs or design flaws aren't customer hostility and it's dumb to conflate them.

Every type of law enforcement ever, has killed an innocent or two; especially in situations where people are protesting the law and large numbers of people are propagandized into obstructing law enforcement. ICE has a pretty damn good record here actually all things considered.

If you want to assign responsibility for these deaths, maybe take a hard look at the policy, organizations, media, legal system, prior executives who created a situation where we had massive numbers of people in unresolved extra legal status and allowed that problem to continue compounding for three decades. That is not party thing, either plenty of inaction under Bush etc to point at. Here is the dirty little secret about the who immigration conversation. Self interested liars who have a lot of media influence keep claiming Trump is the on violating the law here, when in fact he is the first person in the last 30 years to actually try to do what the IIRIRA actually requires the federal government to do. The Constitution requires the president to " âoetake care that the laws be faithfully executed", literally Clinton, Bush, and Obama, should constitutionally speaking have faced impeachment and conviction over IIRIRA!

No it hasn't killed a single person, not one. The conditions the locals have allowed to persist in places where USAID formerly was providing whatever...it was providing is what killed those people. Inaction in the form of lack of prevention where it requires concentrated effort and importantly you are not the proximate cause whatever the calamity might be in the first place is not equivalent to acting (killing).

Where was the EU? Where was the CCP? Where was the ANC? Where was OPEC or for that matter Walmart Corporation :-P How come none of them stepped in to fill the gap. What absolves them of culpability?

Have they chucked out that steaming pile of crap that is SurfaceFlinger yet?

Everyone loves to say "BuT x11 iS sO bAd" and then always build something that is worse. See also: Wayland.

Yes. That Agile approach has really never worked.

Kind of depends if you mean Agile(tm) or agile-small-a.

This isn't really the generic defense of "if your scrum isn't working, you're doing it wrong/it's not scrum or a true scotsman". After all, scrum is a bunch of large sweaty men (or women) all pushing against each other scrabbling after a moving target and then often just collapses in a mess. Kind of like Agile-scrum so maybe it's well named...

But really agile is an attempt to capture how small teams work on smaller projects with good people on large projects with mediocre people. Naturally it never works because (a) the teams are big and (b) the people are mediocre. It's meant to also offset some of the worst excesses of insane project management by doing things differently but unfortunately if you have an insane project manager who ran things in a crazy and unproductive way they are not going to become not crazy with a new framework of rules.

So in conclusion: agile is great if you can do it, but you can't do it for exactly the reasons why you need it in the first place. It is I believe therefore doomed by its very definition.

Personal shoppers etc are a thing; but what is different here is the scale.

If Amazon's experience is so bad, that is what that is maybe the market will move to walmart.com; not really the point.

The point is that letting the AI Boys become an intermediary between every enterprise and most people will NOT be a good thing. I am not saying Amazon isnt a bad actor or isnt hypocritical here on a broader context. I am saying that shop keeps of all stripes should be at least free to post a "No Robots Allowed Sign" and have it respected.

Because I don't think we will much care for the outcomes when we have a world where Coca Cola and slip Meta half a a couple hundred million to make sure the next model generally chooses their products when someone asks the AI to ensure the fridge has colas in it. The consequences for the market where there are six or so middle men everywhere won't remain 'free' long.

At least the retail arm of Amazon is um a wait for it a retailing operation. The individual candy bars, and $2 for 20z chilled sodas are up by the checkout line where you are standing around waiting at the grocery for a reason.

At any large retailer (an some small ones) quite a lot of thought goes into what is on the end caps and what gets less prime real-estate. I actually don't think it is unreasonable Amazon should seek to control the shopping experience to a degree even if to the point of using so called 'dark patterns' to drive some impulse purchases or steer customers toward higher margin items in the category.

That is consumer selling and has been since probably some ancient farmer bartering with his neighbor suggested he'd take fewer animal skins if the other guy agreed to accept some of the squash that had already gone a bit soft over the fresher merchandise.

Does big tech, take that probably way to far - I think the answer is likely yes, but how far that is and how they should be restrained is really a different conversation.

The separate question is should Amazon have to let Meta (or anyone else) step in and completely separate Amazon's own customers from interacting with the store front Amazon wants to present to them? I think the answer to that really should be no.

The reason it should be no is not to protect Amazon but because as much influence as they have in the retail space (maybe to much) think how much influence a handful of frontier model AI providers might get in terms of determining product selection etc if shopping via AI bot becomes the nominal consumer expectation.

Wait, what's the gag?

I mean I would say it's user friendly but very very picky about its friends! I think it's good, but I would not say it's good for general use exactly.

As a far left radical cat hating bike riding commie hippie, I'd dearly love to increase everyone's fuel costs. Unfortunately it appears Trump got in on the act first so there isn't much left for me to do.

Jesus christ, a quiz and a slide show? Are they trying to turn reading a book into a parody of a bad educational experience??
